Whilst Hyderabad are not the flashiest team they have the strength in depth to win this still. Keep Warner, Dhawan and Williamson firing with Kumar and Rashid piping in and they still have the likes of Yuvraj, Kaul and Siraj making cameos.

Disappointingly naive batting from Pathan today. Could have been the catalyst to push on for Kolkata.
